Integrated Radiation-Magneto-Hydrodynamic Simulations of Magnetized Burning Plasmas. I. Magnetizing Ignition-Class Designs
B. Z. Djordjević, D. J. Strozzi, G. B. Zimmerman +6
Motivated by breakthroughs in inertial confinement fusion (ICF), first achieving ignition conditions in National Ignition Facility (NIF) shot N210808 and then laser energy breakeve…
Particle-in-Cell Simulations of Burning ICF Capsule Implosions
Johannes J. van de Wetering, Justin R. Angus, W. Farmer +5
Anomalies observed in the neutron spectral shift of high-yield shots at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) suggest the presence of suprathermal ions, implying that kinetic effect…
Design and Modeling of Indirectly-Driven Magnetized Implosions on the NIF
D. J. Strozzi, H. Sio, G. B. Zimmerman +7
The use of magnetic fields to improve the performance of hohlraum-driven implosions on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) is discussed. The focus is on magnetically insulated ine…
Resistive Diffusion in Magnetized ICF Implosions: Reduced Magnetic Stabilization of the Richtmyer Meshkov Instability
C. A. Walsh, D. J. Strozzi, H. Sio +7
Resistive diffusion is typically regarded to be negligible in magnetized ICF experiments, with magnetic flux effectively compressed during the implosion. In this work the Richtmyer…
